[R32UK]

R32 all day long

its also that last of a dying breed and will hold its value well.

by all reports the R32 hasn't held it's value well

its value slumped about this time last year, which coincided with the sudden rise in fuel prices. the vaule of my old one was about £13k.. 6 months later it was listed as just under £18k.


the usual government scare tactics and hike in fuel prices + recession meant many had to sell and very quickly. Hence a few going for quite cheap. Those that sat tight are laughing now.

There are times when i really wish i had bought one of the last knockdown price Mk5 R32s so much less hassle.

Thanx a lot guys for your honest reviews, comments and opinions.

Well I'll be honest with you guys, the reason I see myself leaning towards the R32 is because of its 4WD and 3.2L V6. And I can imagine what a remap will do to it. The reason for those choices of cars is because all of them are almost on par with the pricing for a used vehicle.

My next choice would be the MK5.
I've got like 10 to 15 used MK5's on the 2nd hand car sales market, compared to only 3 R32's. The R32 is much more rare here. Therefore if I could own one, it'll be like WOW WTF!!! 

Ironically, just recently there's a used MK6 on sale. Pretty shell shocked since it just only released. But the price is not better then from the dealer. Which is monstrous. lol!

There's where almost all the cars in my country are advertised for sale, used and brand new.
Car prices here are exorbitant.

A remap on the r32 will give 4-6bhp if your lucky.

Agreed. Don't waste your money.

Sadly I found out that the R32 has got no turbo 
I'm truly disappointed now! I was thinking it was turbo'ed!
Well, in my place here, if you're caught with a turbo or supercharger in your car when its factory NA, the car will be confiscated. And you will get a jail term and a hefty fine as well.

So the only way I can "live" happily is to get a Turbo'ed car.
Sadly, it seems that the R32 is out now.

Next up, MKV.
But its damn hard to fine an Edition 30 or a Pirelli one here.

Dude you're probably gonna get more responses in the mkv section.

Personally out of your list I would go for an R32 as well, but that's cos I want refinement (and hence why I have a mkvi now!)

lol I know! I had to post here as well because I know that many don't go out of their own model thread haha!

Do you suppose it'll be better to get the mk5 and do it up to a stage 2 or maybe stage 3 to getting a new mk6? What are your thoughts and opinion on this?

I prefer the interior of the Mk6 more
